Its a long shot, but does anyone know if the food log can track carb intake? If not, FITBIT, this would be a huge help!

If you go to the Log page on your computer, scroll down & it shows the breakdown of the total daily intake into carbs etc.  I assume you are logging your food, so that may help.

It's great to see you guys around @nealg @mandiJ Woman Very Happy! That info is available in the food log on the website, but not in the app.

I was making some research and I found this feature suggestion asking the app to track macros (daily carbs/protein/fat intake). Make sure to vote for it so Fitbit may implement this in the nearest future! I already voted too. Smiley Wink

Hope this helps!

I clicked on the link, says its implemented.

How do I get to it within my Fit phone app.  I see MacroNutrients and percentages. I have to go to different page to find I have 1354 calories in.  So, then I need to go to a calculator to see the actual grams.  Be nice just to 'tap' the icon for MacroNutrients and show the info on the above link.

Thanks for stopping by @SunsetRunner and for the heads up! However, I'd like just to clarify that this thread was from last year (August) and this option was implemented in the beginning of this year (around May) as you could see in the suggestion I linked. 

After you log food, your macronutrients breakdown will appear by doing the following:

  1. From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the food tile (which shows your calories in vs calories remaining if you created a food plan).
  2. Under Today, find your daily macronutrients breakdown as compared to your cals in vs cals out.
  3. Swipe the graph at the top to see your macronutrients breakdown over the past week.
  4. Tap the expand icon in the top right to open information about your macronutrients and then tap any particular day to see details. Tap the icon again to close.

Keep in mind that you won't see your macronutrients breakdown if you use the option to log calories instead of food. 

Let me know if there's something else you'd like me to assist you with! Smiley Very Happy
